Google Pixel users in Europe will now be able to measure their body temperature. This feature works by leveraging the Pixel Thermometer app and the temperature sensor that Google introduced with its Pixel 8 Pro last year. The sensor is also available in the new Pixel 9 Pro lineup. Its capabilities were initially available only for measuring the temperature of objects. Now, the tech giant expanded its use case in the US earlier this year. This expansion permits the measurement of body temperature.
Google Pixel Thermometer App Expansion
Google has updated the Fitbit support page for body temperature measurement. The tech giant has added more countries beyond the US. It joins the object temperature measurement feature which already exists on the Pixel Thermometer app. According to 9to5Google, Google has updated the app’s interface to include the option and it now says, “Measure your own or someone else’s body temperature. Users can also connect their Fitbit to the app to log their temperature.
It now mentions the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Kingdom of the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States.
To set up the body temperature measurement feature, users need to tap on the Tap to measure floating option. Then they will need to complete a four-second setup process. Voice prompts will guide this process. Next, they must move the Pixel phone close to their forehead. Then, move it to the left or right temple. Users also have the option of choosing an age range. Alternatively, they can choose not to select this. This makes the process a bit faster. The screen will display the results.
